The inaugural MAT Excellence Awards give school trusts the opportunity to be recognised and celebrated for their work. What achievements would you like to share?
What are you most proud of about your multi-academy trust? Is it the wellbeing support you offer to pupils, staff and families? Is it the way that your executive team works together? Is it your stellar chief finance officer? Is it the way that you’ve integrated your services into the community?
The MAT Excellence Awards are all about celebrating excellence and impact in school trusts. We want to know what you’re doing, or have done, which has made a real difference to your students, your staff, and the community you serve.
You can nominate your trust for an award in 12 categories.
| CEO of the year | CFO of the year | Community trust of the year | Digital innovation award |
| Employer of the year | Environmental trust of the year | Governance professional of the year | Growth and impact award |
| Inclusivity award | MAT of the year | Trust executive team of the year | Wellbeing trust of the year |
